"A fun humorous book to read!"
Every once in a while a book will come along that
is just a fun book to read. This is one such book. I
enjoyed this book so much that I truly had a hard time
putting it down once I started reading it. This delightful
story had not one but two romances all rolled up between
the pages of this book. Katie Collins is the personal assistant to Ivan
Rasmussen. Ivan and his fifth wife are getting ready to go
on a trip and Ivan wants Katie to find a husband for his
only child, Wilhemina. He tells Katie that he'll pay her an
ungodly amount of money if she can accomplish this. Now
Wilhemina unfortunately takes after her father in looks
but they ARE very rich. Katie has an ulterior motive for
doing this because she really needs the money for a very
good reason. Ivan also hires Michael Wingate to keep an eye on
Wilhemina and be her bodyguard. From the very first time
Michael and Katie meet there are serious sparks but both
have an agenda that they must follow so there can be no
hanky panky! Both feel they have to live down the
humiliation of their parents and that could take a long
time to do. Then the unthinkable happens. Katie tells Wilhemina
a fairy tale about a cowboy knight and Wilhemina runs away
to Texas with her very expensive hairless cat named Chantal
so she can find herself a cowboy knight. The next thing you know Michael and Katie are on a
wild goose chase through Texas hot on Wilhemina's trail but
will they be too late? Only time and a little luck will
tell. This is Leanne Banks' first single title and boy is
it a doozie! I thoroughly enjoyed every page of this
hilarious book. I know I certainly hated to see it end. I
look forward to much more enjoyable reading from Leanne
Banks!

Summary"You want me to find a husband for your daughter?" As
personal assistant to the rich and eccentric, Katie Collins
thought she'd heard it all. Now to keep her job she has to
play matchmaker for her boss's only child. With her
shapeless clothes and prim appearance, Katie has not had
much experience with the opposite sex. That doesn't stop
her from trying to turn shy Wilhemina into a swan. Or from
dragging reluctant bodyguard Michael Wingate to Texas,
where their lovelorn heiress has run off to lasso herself a
cowboy.
Working with Michael becomes more dangerous than Katie
bargained for. He is exactly the kind of control freak she
despises -- and so hot he melts her plain-Jane defenses
faster than a desert sunrise. Of course, falling in love
with the man is out of the question. But just once Katie
Collins wants to be a little naughty, to discover why all
good girls sometimes want to be bad!
